ancientcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 842 Posts	Posted 03/28/2011 4:51 pm This ebay coin has an 'attribution', but I can see no letters remaining to identify it as they have. I know this is a popular bust/reverse combination, so is it possible this is not a Saufeius Family coin? If not, what is it? (I am thinking about buying it) Thanks! http://cgi.ebay.com/Roman-Republic-...ot_W0QQitemZ a href= https://www.coincommunity.com/go/link.asp?target=https://www.ebay.com/itm/-/230594745765 target= _blank rel= nofollow 230594745765 /a QQcategoryZ3365QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp5197.m7QQ_trkparmsZalgo=LVI&itu=UCI&otn=4&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=8062480218452589085 Report this Post to the Staff

ancientcoinguy Pillar of the Community United States 842 Posts	Posted 03/28/2011 10:06 pm Yes I did. Even if it is not a Saufeius it is still interesting. I am trying to expand my collection on Roman Republic coins to go with my Imperial hoard. I have three now, and they were all under $30 each. Two are in rough shape (like this example) and one is in exquisite shape (but with a hole) :( Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16846 Posts	Posted 03/29/2011 10:14 am I can see a "V" beneath the horse's feet, which is consistent with the attribution as Saufeius. It's also consistent with half a dozen other moneyers that had a "V" in their name, so hopefully further letters are distinguishable on the piece in hand. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
